We would like to interrupt our usual program with a few messages:
1. Please be respectful of one another when you leave comments. Everyone is entitled to voice their opinions, but everyone is also entitled to not feel threatened after voicing an opinion, so everyone,
be nice. Also, and more importantly, we the mods have a zero-tolerance policy toward disrespect and general unpleasantness, and we do not practice niceties toward those who do not observe this policy. To learn more, click
here.
2. Please be reminded that this is a *drum rolls*
BOTTOM!DRACO community! (*gasps* No way!) It is NOT called BOTTOM!DRACO SOME OF THE TIMES AND TOP!DRACO OTHER TIMES. If this confuses you, take a look
here,
here,
here, and
here).
3. And when we say this is a
BOTTOM!DRACO community, we mean: fics, art, videos, fanvids, and all other unmentioned forms of media must contain bottom!Draco, either completely, or mostly. These fics, art, videos, fanvids, and other unmentioned forms of media must be CLEARLY labeled if there is SWITCHING (both bottom!Draco and top!Draco make an appearance). If this doesn't sound familiar to you, click
here.
4. We are getting sick and tired of reminding people of the very obvious fact that this is a
BOTTOM!DRACO community. You do not see anyone posting recs of bottom!Draco over at, say, bottom!Harry community, or snarking at anyone who say they prefer top!Draco or bottom!Draco anywhere else, so PLEASE: STOP. We try to keep this a low-key, fun, friendly place for people to interact and play and ogle over bottom!Draco goodness, since, you know, this is a
BOTTOM!DRACO community, but we need YOUR cooperation to do so.
5. If you need clarification as to what we mean by bottom!Draco, it means NC-17 work = Draco getting a cock up his arse. It means extensive and thorough descriptions of top!Draco for the majority of the fic/art/fanvids/other unmentioned = NO NO NO! For more information, you can check out the
community rules,
fest rules, and we're sure there's another more extensive discussion somewhere (untagged) in the community. We will get back to you later if we do find it.
6. What about switching, you ask? One of the mods mentioned it
here quite explicitly, but just in case, it means: Sure Draco can put his cock in someone's arse/vagina, but for majority of the fic/art/fanvids/unmentioned, he must get it up his arse; (we're quite sure he has no problem with this arrangement XD).
If you scroll down the
rules post and check out the comments, you will see that all the mods, and the members, offered their input on the subject of bottom!Draco once upon a time.
7. We also have a very specific rule as to how we handle top!Draco fics. Take a look
here! (It's like magic, we have the answer for everything!) Basically,
check before you rec! If you are unable to check if the fic has switching, top, or bottom Draco, you have two options: let the person know the fic might include some top!Draco, or don't rec.
8. If we do not discover a top!Draco work in time, don't panic! You can always help us out by sending us an email or kindly let the reccer know. Sometimes it is an honest mistake, sometimes it is just people being contrary, but certainly no one gets hurt from gentle reminders and kind words of caution.
9. As one of our mods eloquently put it, "We know that everyone's threshold for tolerating top!Draco differs, but please respect the theme of this community!" (
reference) So please, respect each other, respect the theme of the community (
BOTTOM!DRACO), and keep the unpleasant feelings to a minimum.
10. If we, the mods, come off as being rude or blunt or offensive, we do apologize. However, considering how this is NOT the first time we have had to address this problem (
here,
here,
here,
here, and other posts that we forgot to tag or have deleted because of the awful things people said), we feel that our reaction is appropriately dramatic.
11. If you want to discuss anything with us, feel free to leave a comment or email us at bottomdraco@gmail.com. We are here to listen and take into consideration your thoughts. However, please observe #4 of this
post before sending us a Howler!
12. Last but not least: READ THE
DAMN RULES.
Now let's get back to our lovely fest and unwind from all the tension!
Yours,
Bottom!Draco mods
